Story
  “Otis the Adventurer”  Otis is a handsome 3-year-old Aussie mix with a sweet heart and a curious spirit. We know his mom was an Australian Shepherd, and while Dad remains a mystery, Otis definitely inherited the intelligence and loyalty that make this breed so special. At around 45–50 pounds, he’s the perfect medium-sized companion.  Otis is the kind of dog who makes living with a dog easy. He is house trained, well-mannered, and respectful as he lives inside the home—no chewing furniture, stealing food, or getting into trouble. He’s calm for an Aussie, incredibly sweet-natured, and great with kids. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be part of the family and enjoy life alongside his people. He also gets along very well with other dogs, so he would likely thrive in a home with a canine buddy to share adventures with.  Recently after moving from his previous home, he found himself living without a privacy fenced yard.  Otis does have one little quirk—he’s an explorer at heart. If given the opportunity, he’d happily set off to see what the world has to offer! Because of that adventurous streak, a privacy fenced yard is important to keep him safe while he enjoys his outdoor time.  Currently he gets out of the non-privacy fenced yard and it is dangerous for him.  His family is worried but they cannot afford to do the proper fencing that he needs.  So.....they asked Critter Cavalry Rescue to help them find him a safe and secure home with the inescapable fence.        We are just looking for the home that Otis can thrive in safely.  Otis is a well-mannered dog just looking for a home where he can be loved, included, and kept safe while still enjoying the fresh air and sunshine he loves. In return, you’ll get a loyal, gentle, well-behaved companion who will happily spend his days by your side.  We think he is the best choice for a family not wanting a puppy who is in the chewing and puppy antic stage of life.  If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing dog with a little adventurous spirit, Otis may be the perfect match.   Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Tell us where you live, city and state.  We adopt to Tennessee residents, where our rescue is based and we have a transport company that takes adopted dogs to the northeastern region to adopting families almost every weekend.  Please let us know where you live when asking about Otis.       PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 8, 2026, 9:04 pm

Story
Margot is a beautiful and charming Aussie mix puppy that was born December 4th to a large litter of 11 siblings. All were cared well by their momma dog and Margot is one of 7 girls and 4 boys who are remarkable puppies with kind souls and good and loving hearts.  Margot has one of those personalities that makes her excited about life and every adventure she can go on.  This girl and her litter were broken in to little groups that would allow each of them to have some real one on one time with a foster.  Margot is in with 3 other siblings in this foursome she is the RINGLEADER.  She keeps the antics going and the laughter resonating in the foster home as the humans watch these puppies play.  Margot loves to steal her siblings toys and generally taunt them.  She is smart and witty and full of crazy ideas to make life 'exciting'.  She would be so well suited with a family that has children who wants a fearless and smart little puppy who has great confidence and personality that goes for miles and miles. Some of her favorite games are tug of war and playing fetch.  Fetch can be so much fun and great exercise for her young and playful mind and body.  A tired puppy is a GOOD PUPPY!  She would truly love to have another dog to play with when her humans are too busy.  Margot is destined to be a soft, long furred beautiful with some amazing eyes and soft features.  When fully grown we predict this beautiful black  girl will most probably be 40-45 pounds.  If you are ready to give her a fenced yard, another companion dog, an active and vibrant family life with good citizens training time and maybe a few children sprinkled in for great fun then email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Mention where you live please.  We are based and fostered in Tennessee but we also have a transport van that goes to the northeast and our dogs and puppies can travel every weekend to new families that are outside of Tennessee.  We welcome local adopters as well.   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
  It’s hard to imagine how confusing and lonely life must feel in a small, noisy shelter in the middle of nowhere. For six long months, Barbie waited in a tiny kennel in rural New Mexico, not knowing what tomorrow would bring.   Then hope showed up in the most unexpected way.   A kindhearted woman who drives a 40-foot tractor trailer for a living learned about Barbie and her companion Kenny. In the middle of her route, she stopped, loaded them up, and refused to let their story end there. Thanks to her determination — and the helping hands at Critter Cavalry Rescue — Barbie finally got her second chance.   Barbie is a 3-year-old, 46-pound fluffy Border Collie mix with a heart as soft as her coat. At the vet’s office, she won everyone over with her affectionate, gentle nature. She simply wants to be close to her people — soaking up every bit of love she missed while waiting in that shelter run.   After her first grooming, she pranced around like she knew she was beautiful — clean, brushed, and finally feeling special. And she is special.   Barbie does well with other dogs her size, though smaller pups may trigger her “squirrel radar.” Mostly, she just wants a home where she can belong — a person or family to love deeply and faithfully. She will happily learn your routines, follow your lead, and repay you every day with devotion and joy.   Barbie has waited long enough. Now it’s her turn to be someone’s everything.   Interested? Email Ccrtennessee@gmail.com to learn more.   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
  If you’re looking for a pup who brings sunshine wherever she goes, look no further than Mercy! This December 4th-born Aussie mix girl is bursting with personality and love. Mercy has an outgoing, happy spirit and a gentle sweetness that makes her irresistible. She’s the kind of puppy who will greet you with full-body wiggles, enthusiastic tail wags, and plenty of puppy kisses. Mercy loves people — big and small. She would thrive in a home with kids who want a playful companion, but she’d also be perfectly content soaking up all the love in an adult-only home. As long as she’s adored, she’s happy! She gets along beautifully with the other dogs in her foster home and would likely enjoy having a four-legged best friend. While she hasn’t been around cats yet, her friendly temperament suggests she could adjust with proper introductions. Fully grown, Mercy will be about 40–45 pounds — the perfect size for hiking trails, backyard playtime, and cozy movie nights. Mercy isn’t just looking for a home — she’s ready to become someone’s heart dog. Could that someone be you?         PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
  Maylene entered the world on December 4th, the smallest of her Aussie mix siblings — and she has never once let that slow her down. In fact, she has embraced her role as the baby of the family with full confidence. If Maylene had a motto, it would be: “All eyes on me.”   This little girl believes she was born to shine. She carries herself with the charming confidence of a pup who knows she is adored and fully expects that adoration to continue. Step aside, world — Maylene is here.   She loves her toys, especially when she can turn playtime into a spirited game of “keep away” with her sisters. She’s playful, bright, and full of personality. In her foster home, she gets along wonderfully with the other dogs and would thrive with a playful canine companion. She hasn’t had the chance to meet cats yet, but her adaptable nature suggests she would likely adjust with proper introductions.   When fully grown, Maylene will be around 40 pounds — the perfect size for a family looking for a loyal sidekick with just the right amount of sass and sweetness.   Now all she needs is a family who recognizes the sparkle in her eyes and the confidence in her little strut — a family who understands that this baby girl already knows she’s special… and is ready to treat her like the treasure she is.   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
  Meet Marielle — the quiet spark with the soulful eyes and the heart just waiting to shine. Born on December 4th, this stunning Aussie mix girl is the perfect blend of softness and spirit. At first glance, you’ll notice her gentle, observant nature. She’s the kind of puppy who studies you carefully, tilts her head just slightly, and takes a moment to decide if you’re “her person.” But once she does? Game over. You belong to her forever.  Marielle isn’t the life-of-the-party puppy crashing through the room — she’s the one who forms deep, meaningful bonds. She thrives in a home where love is steady and predictable. A loud, chaotic household with lots of tiny, fast-moving humans may feel overwhelming to her sensitive soul. But a family with a couple of older, kind-hearted kids who understand patience? That would be her sweet spot. In her foster home, Marielle enjoys the company of other dogs and clearly gains confidence from them. A friendly canine sibling could be the perfect role model and built-in best friend. She hasn’t met cats yet, but her calm, thoughtful personality suggests she would likely adapt just fine with slow introductions and guidance. When fully grown, Marielle should be around 40 pounds — a wonderful medium size that’s big enough for outdoor adventures and small enough to curl up in your lap when she thinks you’re not looking. And trust us, she will try to curl up in your lap. This precious girl doesn’t need the whole world. She just needs her world — a patient heart, a cozy spot to land, and someone willing to see the beauty in a shy beginning. Give her that, and you’ll watch her blossom into the most loyal, loving companion you could ever imagine.   Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.  She is currently fostered in Nashville, TN and we adopt locally and also transport to the northeastern region/states.        PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm
